Nathaniel had showered in the room he shares with Asher before braiding his hair and dressing. He slips into the room, frowning that Jason isn't up yet, and he goes to the bed and turns on a light.
"Jason, I know you're awake. Why aren't you dressed and ready?" he asks.
"You want Moon to see you looking like you do? What happens if she comes to see you? Jean-Claude won't let you work the club looking like this, either. Sleep isn't an option at the moment. Running is, until we find out if we can use that stage in the club."
"Jason, I know you're awake. Why aren't you dressed and ready?" he asks.

"Not today," is his muffled mutter into the pillow. "Just leave me alone today."

Nathaniel's voice takes on a slight edge, something not often heard from the submissive wereleopard.
"Get up and get dressed. Two mile run today."

"Fuck off, Nat. I don't want to fucking run today."

"Get up."
If Jason didn't make a move to get out of that bed, Nathaniel was going to be removing the blankets.

He doesn't want to move.
He doesn't want to run.
He doesn't want to do anything.
What's the point?

"You need to get up. You need to keep busy," he insists.

"I just want to sleep," he moans pathetically.

Not like they're dating or anything.
"I couldn't sleep. Just let me...rest today."

Nathaniel sighs.
"Why couldn't you sleep? Why didn't you come and get me?"

"I saw Scarlet in the Bar."

He slips off his running shoes and crawls into bed, laying down to face Jason. His hand reaches out, stroking the hair.
"And?" he asks, worried that the reason Jason hadn't slept was because he'd been too high to.

"She said she'd give me some if I asked for it..."
He wanted to ask so badly.

"Did you ask for it?"
Reply
"I want to...I know it's a mistake but I want to..."
